Quiet TIME TAKEAWAY:
Jesus is Risen.
This should direct how I spend – or invest – my life.
My NOTES:
– God willing, in 50 months I’ll be 70. That is sobering. So now is the time to recommit to what I’m aiming at.
-Today I’m looking at
1 Corinthians 15:32-34, and I’m struck with Paul’s teaching. I’ll paraphrase:
“If I fought wild beasts … with no more than human hopes, what have I gained if the dead are not raised? “Let us eat and drink for tomorrow we die.”
Basically, I think Paul’s saying, if Christ isn’t the Risen King – do whatever you want… for there is no reason to live your life to love others. He sarcastically says, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
“Do not be misled: … Come back to your senses…and stop sinning… (don’t be) ignorant of God — I say this to your shame.” Vs. 34
BUT, Christ is risen!
We are held accountable. Our life is to be more than a party; we are accountable for how we serve God.
My TAKEAWAY:
Jesus is Risen.
This should direct how I spend – or invest – my life.
